Woman Returns From Vacation To Find MIL “Landscaped” Her Garden Without Permission

Spread the love

A garden can take years to nurture and shape into something that feels like your own. Throughout that process, it becomes more than just plants and soil—a portrait of your home and the work that goes into building it.

Everyone has their own vision of how a garden should look, which is why any uninvited change can feel deeply disruptive.

Reddit user Tragic-Mushroom shared a story on r/TwoHotTakes that left many stunned and sympathetic: after returning from a holiday, the woman realized her mother-in-law, who was supposed to take care of her dog, had also done some landscaping and completely changed how the yard looked.

Gardening isn’t just a hobby, it’s a personal endeavor we get really attached to
